Going through the backlog of e-mails in my inbox, I found a press release about Australia’s Jonathan Boulet; ‘a precociously inspired 22 year old skate rat’ who’s been making an interesting brand of uplifting, deeply colorful pop music. Next year will see him put out his forthcoming sophomore album and this track, which isn’t a typo, appears on it. Pounding drums, gang vocals, powerful.

Download “You’re A Animal” or check out the video below for “A Community Service Announcement”.

“A Community Service Announcement” started appearing on radars in 2009, a ‘song bouncing with unbridled joy for 21st century dreamers’. The video was directed byThe Special Problems, which sees a gang of misfits charging through the stunning natural landscape on New Zealand’s west coast, coated in a haze of digital distortion.
